News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Pontiac Aztek, Tesla Cybertruck, Nissan Cube.
There is also Fiat Multipla which is kind of Pontiac Aztec of Europe
Okay, I'll give you the Cybertruck, although I would put that more on the level of a more specialty car that I wouldn't put along the lines of normal mass-market cars. More like a supremely shitty sportscar. I stand by my comment regarding the other two.
Yeah, YMMV.
You could also throw in the VW Thing and the Yugo or AMC Pacer. I looked at a couple of lists of ugly cars just to see if I was missing some, but most were just boring and not particularly ugly.
I stand by the Aztek being worse than the PT cruiser though. The PT cruiser is one of those that falls on the side of “boring” for me, not egregiously ugly. I understand it’s also a pile of garbage from a quality perspective, so definitely a bad car.
The Thing is one of those "so ugly it's beautiful" cars to me. I also say that about pretty much any AMC car.
But yeah, I can't defend the Yugo.
That said, the PT Cruiser is also a shitbox in terms of driving. Just a badly-made car. I worked for a place that had it as one of the company cars and it was always a "not it" when there were only two cars left available and one was the PT. So I admit I've got something that adds a huge bias.
The Thing is the same for me.
I could also start to throw in most of the ridiculous 8-foot-tall American brodozer pickups, but while they’re ugly they’re mostly just bland rather than atrocious-looking. And my aversion to them is not necessarily based entirely on their appearance.
